• Does anyone have experience of building with black brass spoke nipples? Do they mark / scratch easily? Better to go alloy for black ? Thanks

  • Not a lot of difference, they do scratch but not that easily. they aren’t very black though so aesthetically you might prefer anodised nipples.

    Not the best pics but I did these with alternating black / silver brass.

  • Thanks, might try and see them up close (looking at Sapim polyax) before deciding . They do look more grey in that picture !
